New group tackles eating disorders

The Serenity Project, a new local support group of Eating Disorders Anonymous, will meet at 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 156 Florida Park Drive North.

Eating Disorders Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other, so that they may solve their common problems, and help others to recover from eating disorders. The only requirement for membership is a desire to recover from an eating disorder. There are no dues or fees. Diets and weight management techniques do not solve our thinking problems. EDA endorses sound nutrition and discourages any form of rigidity around food. Balance — not abstinence — is our goal. For more information, email Nicole at [email protected].
